Russian Anti-Spam Advisor Accused of Spamming

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-we-need-our-viagra dept.

Keith noted that Krebs has an interesting story on a Russian businessman being accused of running a spam ring while serving as an anti-spam adviser to the Russian government. It's a strange tale including an investigation in 2007 that was abandoned when the chief investigator was actually hired to work for the spammer. Not suspicious at all, no way.

    Or a Democrat claiming to be "Pro-Choice" but then votes to support a healthcare bill that takes-away choice (punishes people w/o hospital insurance).

    Just trying to be balanced.
    You used a Republican example
    I used a Democrat example.
